I hope this is in the right section.
I'm shopping around for parts. I would like to go to a physical store, with an updated website. GTA area. I'm in Mississauga.
So far I know:
Infonec: http://www.infonec.com/
Canada Computers: http://www.canadacomputers.com/
Wintronic Computers: http://www.wintroniccomputers.com/

www.tigerdirect.caAvoid like the plague unless a special is on.
Directcanada.com and NCIX are both good sites.

Buy at www.NCIX.com , best place in all Canada.
Also...if you manage to understand French, use this website ;) http://www.infoprix.ca/
NCIX allow pricematching, means if you suggest a lower price from another e-tailer (same piece, with a link for sure) they may give you the price you asked for (you can save alot by doing that) Infoprix is a big ''data center'' for computer parts prices, to find the best price possible for the pieces you want (thought they don't show em all)
NCIX <3 best customer service!

Crap....I just mentioned it cuz when they have sales...they are pretty good. I realize some people have had bad experiences with them but in the last three years that I've bought items....not a single time have I had an issue, and that includes 2 returns without as much as a hint of trouble so.............whatever !!

TigerDirect is OK if you do a walk-in purchase and avoid items with mail-in rebates. Otherwise YMMV. I've purchased online from them a few times and never had an issue other than rather pricey shipping charges.
